Loreto Valenzuela (b. 1973, Chile) is a visual and performance artist based in Germany. Working across painting, movement, drawing, and spatial arrangements, she treats time as material—composing passages of attention through gestures, markings, threads, and thresholds. Her practice is process-led and embodied, often returning to an active archive of works, notes, and images through re-ordering, interruption, and “reset” as method. A daily discipline—stretch, sketch and reboot- play not to forget what is like to be human.
Recent projects include research week Project[ions] (Südufer Freiburg, 2024), a vernissage performance for Steph Huang’s The water that bears the boat (Galerie für Gegenwartskunst / E-Werk Freiburg, 2024), A Whisper of the Stone (Kaiserwache Off Space, Freiburg, 2023), short abstract UNCERTAIN.T (Delphi Space, Freiburg, 2022), and Club Unique (concept/curation/performance format, E-Werk Freiburg, 2022-2026).

Despite navigating one of the most challenging periorsds of my life, I am proudly greatful to embrace art both as a refuge and a force of transformation.
This residency marks a deeply personal chapter - an exploration of resilience, where performance, movement, and sculptural forms become a vessel for healing and renewal, this new periord seeks to embody the tension
between fragility and strenght, creating work that with the complexities of being human. Art, in its purest form, is my way of finding equilibrium amid chaos.
